I Hope to Raise Money to Buy Chelsea or Manchester at the Blind Side of the Public – Cheddar

Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar and leader of the New Force, has expressed his ambitious intention to acquire a major football club in England as part of his sports investment strategy.

The Ghanaian entrepreneur, who aims to run as an independent candidate in Ghana’s 2024 election, desires to purchase either Chelsea FC or Manchester United to demonstrate Africa’s potential for influence in global sports.

In a discussion on football in Ghana on Nhyira FM, Nana Kwame Bediako shared his vision not only to acquire one of the prominent English clubs but also to foster the development of a robust African Champions League akin to its European counterpart.

“As I sit here I hope to raise money to buy Chelsea at the blind side of the public or buy Manchester United and show the white man that the Black man is also powerful. I would like to invest and have an African Champions League just like what pertains in Europe.

“Let’s build strong leagues in Africa so that we can sell our players outright to Europe instead of smuggling players through dubious means for peanuts,” he stressed.

Nana Kwame Bediako, who was raised in Kumasi further stressed on the need for the country to make good use of its former football heroes, especially in negotiating good deals in the transfer of players abroad.

According to the New Force leader, Ghana has failed in this direction, which looks strange to him.

“A few days ago I went to the late Papa Arko’s home, he’s one of my legends along with the likes of Opoku Nti who were the big stars in football when I was a young boy.

“We failed to ensure that these quality footballers gained legendary status because today these players I mentioned should have been big-time football agents and well-connected around the world. We are not serious as a country, that is why many of them end up broke after their playing time,” he said.
